Of course I am. I know how to use money as a resource, something that the 99% are incapable of understanding. It took my dad 75 years to raise 700 million dollars I inherited. I've been able to double it in less than 25 years, because of how smart I am.

Bytemeister ,

Shoot, my mom told me Labor day was a second mother's day, to thank her for pushing my 9.5lb body out of her poor vagina.

Bytemeister ,

Windows...optimized.

It takes 4GB just to idle in windows 11.

Why optimize when you can just mandate insane resources for your OS?

I miss running XP on an system with 768MB of RAM and having enough left over to play Morrowind.

Bytemeister ,

Showed this to my partner. They have 2 more college degrees than I do. Their response...

"I don't get it. Is the last digit 6 or something."

Rural public schools are a fucking joke.

Bytemeister ,

Hot air rises.

I'm pretty sure this guy does want a woman who can think for herself. Otherwise he's gonna have to tell her how and when to clean the house, plan and cook meals, take care of their kids, and manage the household...etc. He's gunning for the Monkey's Paw version of a tradwife.

Bytemeister ,

I saw my wife's student loans last night. She took out 37,000 dollars in 2008. She's been paying her monthly amount for over 10 years, and she now only owes 43,000 dollars.

Cancel student debt. Most of us have already paid for college more than once.

Edit: also worth noting that up until now, only about 30% of PSLF applications are approved, and something like 37 (that's total, not percent) of loans are fulfilled using IDR plans.

Cancel student debt.

Only leader in that game that was worth a shit was The King. 4th option, courier rules the Mojave and delegates most of the day to day to Elvis, so they can fuck off in the great divide or hang with JG.

Bytemeister ,

I don't want a smart (insert household device here) I want a dumb device that simply reports it's status to and accepts commands from a computer. Put all the smart shit in one thing and control multiple devices from a single interface.

There is no reason why my oven or laundry machine needs enough computing power to land a man on the moon.

Bytemeister ,

Facebook started giving me friend suggestions of people who worked there. Location wasn’t even enabled on my phone.

Some devices will still passively check SSIDs, even with WiFi "off", then they just look for users who have similar nearby wireless networks.

Bluetooth?
Maybe even ultrasound to detect nearby devices?

I don't think you can have privacy online anymore. The best thing you can do is make a lot of noise, so it's hard to determine what data is real, and who it belongs to.

Bytemeister ,

It will be a while until that particular strip of the US loses energy from a Total Solar Eclipse. There's no shortage of other eclipse events, and from the top of Alaska to the urethra of Florida is a looooong way.

Doomguy? Thanos snaps, Doomguy dies, goes to hell, fights his way back to Earth and kills Thanos anyway.

Possibly Sierra117, who's power is either luck, or quantum immortality. Thanos can snap all he wants, it wouldn't affect John.

Bytemeister ,

You've just moved the same problem somewhere else if you do that.

I run a "main" home screen with Clock, Calendar, Weather and Alerts, then the next one is apps I commonly use, separated into folders, tools, photography, entertainment, comms, MFA, and then the next screen is my email.

Bytemeister ,

Brother BW laser. Can't require yellow ink if it only uses black toner.

Bytemeister ,

Or when your're trying to feed that fucker back through the passthrough on a desk.

Bytemeister ,

I think we're more like the Alliance from Firefly.

Most people are just trying to go about their day-to-day, and the war and major imperialism was done a long time ago. Now there are a few in the government who keep doing evil shit, but for the most part it's a big useless bureaucracy.

Bytemeister ,

...escalating the proxy war against Russia...

So, comrade, how much of Ukraine should surrender for about 6 years of "peace" with Russia?

Bytemeister ,

PHEVs should be able to charge off of regenerative braking. You don't need to plug them in to get benefits from the hybrid system. The stated fuel economy for the vehicles assumes that there will be a certain amount of electric-only travel. The article doesn't say it, but most PHEVs advertise that you can use the battery for most of your day to day travel, and only use the ICE when you are making longer trips. So the takeaway from this article shoud not be "hybrids are bad, just keep making gas cars" but instead should be "testing and assumptions about the fuel use of these vehicles needs to be changed to more accurately reflect reality."

Bytemeister ,

You don't have to charge a hybrid to get the benefits of the electric motor. It can charge from regenerative braking. That being said, plugging in a PHEV will maximize the benefits of the system vs relying on regenerative braking alone.

Bytemeister ,

I think you should re-read your source. as it says this...

These small boosts in battery range can accumulate and improve efficiency over time when used regularly.

And your quote is out of context.

Regenerative braking doesn’t add significant miles to your driving range. Still, those gains in recaptured energy can really add up when used liberally and regularly.

Consider that most fuel economy is lost when the car is accelerating, having a system that captures 90% of the heat every lost to braking, which can then be used to get the car moving again, would be a huge benefit. That's why regenerative braking can't extend range, it instead reduces the impact stopping and starting have on the range of the vehicle.

Bytemeister ,

As long as the system offsets it's additional mass, it is a net benefit to the total economy of the car. Consider that an equally sized ICE vehicle loses 100% of that braking energy, and still has to accelerate that same 15-30 mph. You're also leaving out that electric motors are much more efficient at accelerating a vehicle at low speeds than an ICE.

Bytemeister , (edited )

phev drivers rely on the ICE and thus don’t achieve the emissions benefits that should come with a phev.

This is true, but the assumption that this means that Hybrids are less efficient than their ICE-only counterparts and have detrimental effects on CO2 emissions is not. The article fails to put into plain numbers the expected CO2 emissions of each vehicle type, and their actual CO2 emissions. A lot of those PHEVs are advertised as having 0 emissions most of the time because you can use the electric only option. Even if people don't take advantage of that by plugging in the vehicle, the hybrid system is still more efficient (except for some extreme long distance, non-stop scenarios) than a comparable ICE only car. The article does not tell us that hybrids are less efficient than ICE only cars, it tells us that our current methods for testing, advertising and accounting for C02 emissions for PHEVs are not matching real world data. This isn't actually a new problem, discrepancies with lab data and real world driving data have existed ever since we started testing the fuel economy of cars.

Bytemeister ,

Makes sense to me. Not much point in hauling around more battery than you are going to use.

Bytemeister ,

I don't recall saying anything about range anxiety?

Bytemeister ,

I guess not, but the way you specifically called me out kinda implies that you did.

Bytemeister ,

Does hosting your own VPN count?

Love the clarification BTW. I notice Texas there.

Bytemeister ,

You should avoid feeding any wild animal if you can. Except maybe hummingbirds.

Bytemeister ,

As long ask you know the difference between computer and Hard Drive...

Bytemeister ,

Abridged version:

Repubs are better than dems. Here is some loaded BS on why. I'm not even a Republican. I'm evolved beyond your insults.

Bytemeister ,

Lol your you're about as evolved as a three year old.

Age and evolution are not comparable qualities. You had 16 hours, you could have come up with something better.

Bytemeister ,

My partner asks me what I want for dinner, and I say it doesn't matter, we'll have whatever you want. They reply with "I always pick, and it's exhausting, you need to pick" and I say...
"hamburgers."

"Nope, had them yesterday"

"Ramen?"

"Not feeling Ramen today"

"Indian?"

"I already have acid reflux"

"Italian?"

"I'm Italian'd out"

"Look, you're the one with the restrictive diet. I'm literally a human garbage can and I will eat anything in my vicinity, you clearly have opinions on what you want to eat, and I don't want to play food 20 questions until I guess what you want for dinner tonight, so just pick already"

"Why do I always have to pick?"

It's literally been the same conversation every night for 3 years so far. I'm about ready to just record my responses in order to expedite the decision.

Bytemeister ,

If we can actually charge trump criminally, I think we'll be okay. He is a self-serving squealer, on top of being and idiotic blabber that can't keep a secret. He will bury every one of his sycophants to get a single day off his prison sentence.

Also, nothing is scarier than a peaceful man resorting to violence. The non-MAGA majority are slow to violence, but if it happens, it would be swift and unstoppable.

Bytemeister ,

Well, let's look at it this way.
Tax cuts for the benefit of corporations and billionaires puts extra burden on middle and low income brackets. Knew jerk reactions to common sense legislation to limit the availability of firearms in public puts extra stress on people who need to go to school, or shop, or drive on highways, or work public-facing jobs. Slashing public spending reduces the quality of our infrastructure. Limiting access to reproductive care harms our perception of bodily autonomy, and the ability to plan financial and socially for the long term future. All of those aspects, and more, are core to the Republican party right now, and each of them directly affect the quality of your day to day life. So yes, it will get better if trump goes to jail and takes the bottom 25% of that social scum with him.

Bytemeister ,

Sure, but they'll get snatched up too, once we realize it's okay to arrest "white collar" criminals and put them in jail.

Bytemeister ,

Open services.msc, disable the windows update service, and set the start type to disabled. The go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and delete the entire folder.

Bytemeister ,

Superfetch was keeping an index of file relationships in RAM and pre-loading files you were probably going to use next. It didn't ping your network at all, but it could easily eat up a ton of disk resources and RAM. It was really only an issue on old 5400rpm laptop HDDs from what I remember.

Might be thinking of windows search indexing.

Bytemeister ,

Were you in town for the Arnold?

Bytemeister ,

Nah. Dazzle pattern, or paint an extra nose and a few eyes.

Now that I think about it, that is butterfly pattern isn't it.

Bytemeister ,

Skydiving isn't peaceful, but it certainly isn't violent.

Bytemeister ,

I'd go with the wind, noise, speed, and imminent possiblity of death.

Bytemeister ,

Go ahead, take a nice bath, read a book, or do some origami while skydiving, or driving at 200mph with the top down.

Strange example to try and use lol.

You know what is peaceful? Take a hike.

Bytemeister ,

You're making petty, empty, semantic "arguments" and you know it.

Also, whoosh.

Bytemeister ,

Ah, so if someone catches a charge for disturbing the peace, then they must have been violent?

So yeah skydiving is actually peaceful by definition, no matter which pedantic argument EITHER of us use.

1st definition of peaceful.
adjective

free from disturbance; tranquil.
"everything was so quiet and peaceful in the early morning"
synonyms: tranquil, calm, restful, pleasant, quiet, still, relaxing, soothing, sleepy, silent, soundless, hushed, noiseless, undisturbed, untroubled, private, secluded, solitary, isolated, serene, composed, placid, at peace, at rest, at ease, in repose, reposeful, unworried, unruffled, anxiety-free, content, blissful, secure

You are factually wrong on this statement.

Bytemeister ,

I thought your point was that neither definition fit my usage of peaceful? Is that not what you meant by...

...So yeah skydiving is actually peaceful by definition, no matter which pedantic argument EITHER of us use.

Bytemeister ,

Calling in a 500kg bomb to kill a few bugs.

Bytemeister ,

For Karl!

Bytemeister ,

It does matter. Dishonarable conduct will prevent your family from elevating to Class A (the most equal) citizen status.
